UGREEN USB-C PD Cable 240W 0.5m
Product description
If you carry a mix of USB-C devices, the UGREEN USB-C PD cable is a practical way to keep charging simple and consistent. It supports fast charging using the latest PD 3.1 standard, and it is rated up to 240W, so it can suit high power needs across compatible laptops, tablets, and phones. With a 0.5m lead length, it is also handy for desk setups, bedside charging, and travel use where you do not want a long cable trailing around.
The 240W USB C to USB C cable is built around intelligent power negotiation with an E-marker chip, which helps the cable communicate with the connected device. That matters when you are charging different models, because it can negotiate voltage and current appropriately rather than forcing the same setting every time. 😊 The cable is also designed for day to day durability, using high strength nylon and aluminium alloy shells, plus laser welding for a solid feel.
Key features
The key point with this UGREEN cable is its support for USB Power Delivery, including PD 3.1. According to the manufacturer, it can deliver high power charging and can reach speeds such as up to 88% for a MacBook Pro 16 inch and up to 92% for an iPad Pro, in around 35 minutes, when used with compatible devices and charging conditions. ⚡ In everyday terms, that means fewer waits when you top up before heading out.
It also includes an E-marker chip for voltage and current negotiation. That is useful if you regularly switch between devices, because it aims to protect the connected battery while increasing charging speed where possible. This cable is not just about power, it is also set up for routine use, and it includes USB 2.0 data sync for transfers at up to 480Mbps. 🙂
There is one important limitation to bear in mind: the C to C cable does not support video or media output, and it does not support charging speed display. If you need a cable for screen output, you will want a different type of lead designed for that purpose.

Pros
What stands out most is the balance between high power capability and practical everyday design. With its up to 240W rating, this cable is designed to handle charging demands that go beyond basic chargers, which is helpful if you use a laptop alongside a phone and tablet.
The construction details are also meant to improve longevity. The cable uses high strength nylon, aluminium alloy shells, and laser welding, with the manufacturer stating a lifespan over 15 times higher than other USB C cables. In laboratory testing, it is also said to withstand 30000 plus bending cycles and 20000 plus plug insertions without twist, crack, or broken connectors.
Another advantage for routine users is the included E-marker chip and PD 3.1 support. Instead of treating every device the same, it negotiates voltage and current according to the connected device, which can reduce the chance of mismatched charging behaviour. It is a good fit if your charging routine involves switching between compatible USB-C devices at your desk or at home.
What’s included
You get the cable lead only, supplied as a 0.5m USB C to USB C connection. It is intended for charging and USB 2.0 data syncing where supported by your devices. For full fast charging performance, you will also need compatible power sources and devices that support the relevant PD profiles.
It is worth checking device compatibility before ordering, because some features depend on the equipment you connect. In particular, video output and charging speed display are not supported with this cable, so it will not act as a hub or display lead.
Who it’s for
It’s a solid pick if you want one USB-C cable that can cover fast charging and basic data syncing across a small device bundle. You may like it if you own a mix such as a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, an iPad Pro or iPad Air, plus a compatible iPhone or Android handset. It can also suit scenarios like charging your laptop at your desk, then using the same lead to top up your phone later.
It might not be a great match if you need video or media output over the USB-C connection. You may also want to avoid it if you need a cable designed specifically for charging speed display, since that feature is not supported here.
